As above really.
We've got a Dell precision workstation that is a 3 drive RAID 5 array containing 3 x Seagate barracuda 7200.12 (ST31000528AS) drives, one of which (or at least it's port, port 2) drops of the array and shows the array as degraded. Irritatingly dell just say try to re-enable that port in the intel matrix storage manager, and invariably it re-appears fine and then re-inisialises and works fine for a while. Bloody irritating as performance is massively worse when its re-initialising and this machine does After Effects, so drive speed is a necessity.
I've got some 1tb Samsung F2 drives here, can I happily swap out the apparently dodgy Seagate and replace with one of the Samsungs?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
E-I
